At the end of the day, Karol Bak is an admirer of women -- indeed, he is a glorifier of womanhood. He paints phenomenally captivating and downright beautiful shapes. He seems to desire to reveal the souls of his subjects, so by various methods he examines the deepest parts of their nature. His seraphic heroines flow as if in a dream, filling an immense space; they are angels, pearl-divers, personifications of elements and winds; incarnated murders (Judyta, Salome) and even death (Thanatos); from time to time their dimension is truly galactic.
Film studio Hapstance Films has released a hilarious video that brings everyone’s inbox nightmares to life. In the video ‘The Inbox’, a man is visited at his house by real-life versions of online spam, scams, and viruses.
Flavorwire has unearthed a collection of handwritten outlines of famous books -- and one iconic magazine article -- that shows the thought processes of their authors before they were written. Cool stuff. From J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter to Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar, each of these charts is a rare peek into a legendary writer’s working mind. While some authors use a very organized grid to gather their ideas, others are more “free-spirited” with their planning -- for instance, William Faulkner wrote his outline directly on his office wall.
These paintings were created by deviantART member ~theDURRRRIAN. He and his roommate started drawing them when they were bored in class, and those drawings spawned this incredibly amazing series of paintings.
When I think of funeral homes I think of muted colors like blacks, whites and greys. And indeed, funerals in Japan are largely a black & white affair, with any deviation from the code being considered disrespectful. So when Tokyo-based ad agency I&S BBDO was tasked by Nishinihon Tenrei to create an unconventional ad that would stand out in the socially sensitive industry, they were up against cultural taboos that understandably posed several challenges.
These 17th and Oak prints are A3 (16.5 x 11.7 inches) and printed on 280 gsm card. Neat.
In the midst of the thoroughgoing and decade-spanning renovation that has transformed Amsterdam’s recently reopened Rijksmuseum, one notable masterpiece remains in its original spot: Rembrandt’s Night Watch still has pride of place at the center of architect Pierre Cuypers’ 1885 magnum opus. Now, the pair of adjacent antechambers that flank the Night Watch gallery are home to a stunning installation by Turner Prize-winning artist Richard Wright, who (with a little help) has hand-painted 47,000 black stars on the ceiling. Wright painted the whole thing by hand and was apparently inspired by inspired by the original 19th century decorative wall and ceiling paintings in the museum designed by its original architect, Pierre Cuypers. The patterns of the celestial bodies give the flat surface the illusion of depth; the ceiling appears to curve and bend above the heads of visitors. The work is the latest in a series of commissions in and around the museum which tie in with its restoration. The revamped museum opens to the public on April 13.

Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are delighted to present a major exhibition of works by acclaimed American artist Joseph Kosuth, in his first solo show in Berlin in 20 years. Featuring work dating from 1965 through to today, 'Insomnia: assorted, illuminated, fixed.' will for the first time offer an extensive overview of the artist’s work in neon. This chronicles a nearly 50 year-long investigation of the production and role of language and meaning within art, and an on-going use of neon, a material appropriated in the 1960’s first by Kosuth who considered it a form of ‘public writing’, without fine art associations, and traditionally associated with popular culture.
